DAMASCUS: -- Russia’s defence ministry says its planes had carried out 46 airstrikes and struck 83 militant targets in the last 24 hours, according to the Interfax news agency.

The ministry said a range of targets in the provinces of Idlib, Aleppo, Damascus, Hama and Deir al-Zor had been hit. It not mention Homs, however video obtained from social media by Reuters news agency purports to show Russian warplanes striking the town of Talbiseh in Homs.

Activists quoted by Reuters say the Russian jets have been bombarding the rebel-held town for two weeks.

Meanwhile separate amateur video footage purports to show air strikes and Free Syrian Army rebels trying to shoot down what is said to be a Russian aircraft in Syria. Reuters says it is confident the events portrayed are genuine.

Well done Russia.

Please keep up your good work!

America and NATO have proved to be absolutely useless and impotent. A complete failure.

Where to you get your info to make such a claim? As of July this year it is claimed approx 15,000 Daesh people have been killed by US led coalition air strikes in Syria and Iraq.

We will have to wait and see if the Russian air strikes will make a real difference to bring together the various parties to the negotiation table, reassertion of viable government control of lost territory and eventual cessation of hostilities in Syria & Iraq.

Yes I remember how successful the Russians were in Afghanistan in the 1980s against the Taliban.

whereas another "coalition of the willing" made the Taliban disappear. i haven't seen a single Taliban at Pattaya's Beach Road recently whistling.gif
